Understanding the Postpartum Pain Experience in Women of Minority Race/Ethnicity

This study will evaluate women's experiences with pain management and perceived attitudes regarding opioid use for postpartum pain management and examine differences by race/ ethnicity. Women will participate in in-depth qualitative interviews regarding their postpartum pain experience after a cesarean delivery. In this cohort, the investigators will evaluate how experiences of postpartum pain management and perceptions of provider attitudes vary across self-identified race/ethnicity. When applicable, mixed methods integration of patient-reported and clinical data from NNM2 will also allow exploration of patient factors contributing to such variation.
